Reggae Roots 1971[Unreleased Album] Zion Questafi–Drum fever

🎙️ Zion Questafi – Drum Fever

[Unreleased 1971 Roots Reggae Album]
Roots Reggae | Nyabinghi Drums | Spiritual Riddim | Lost Tapes

Drum Fever is a thunderous rediscovery from the foundation years of roots reggae — the unearthed 1971 sessions of Zion Questafi, the mystical chanter whose voice flowed like ancient fire and whose presence commanded any yard or hilltop gathering. Known as the Drum Seer, Zion Questafi believed that every heartbeat was a prophecy, and every drum was a messenger of Jah.

Recorded deep inside a rugged hillside camp where Nyabinghi drummers gathered nightly, these sessions pulse with raw ceremonial percussion, earth-trembling basslines, and echo-filled analog warmth that feels lifted straight from a sacred groundation ritual. The drums don’t just keep tempo — they speak, they warn, they uplift, they heal.

The opening track “Heartbeat of the Sufferer” shakes the spirit with its layered drums and Questafi’s fierce chant. Other standouts like “Three Drum Vision”, “Mystic Fever Rise”, and “Chant of the Lion Drummers” blend prophecy with rhythm, bringing listeners into a trance-like meditation of resistance, unity, and spiritual awakening.

Locked away for decades in a forgotten studio box, Drum Fever finally resurfaces as a rare relic of pure Rastafari energy — a 1971 masterpiece where the drum becomes both weapon and prayer, echoing the struggle and triumph of the people.
